A live break is the cheapest way to chase cards from a box you’d never buy whole. You buy a spot, we open sealed product live on stream, and every card that matches your spot is yours. Here’s exactly how it works at Blunt, start to finish.
1. You buy a spot, not a card
A spot is your share of the break. Depending on the format, it’s a team, a player, a country or a numbered position. You don’t know which cards will come out. Nobody does until the packs are opened on camera.
That’s the trade-off: a spot in a hobby box costs a fraction of the box, but some spots get great cards, some get a few base cards, and some get nothing. Never buy a spot you can’t afford to see blank.
2. Know the format before you buy
Every listing says which format it uses. These are the ones we run most:
- Pick Your Team: you choose your team, and every included card for that team is yours.
- Pick Your Player: you choose a player, and every included card of that player is yours.
- Random Team or Division: you buy a spot, then teams are randomised to spots live.
- Random Spot (numbered): you buy a numbered spot, then hits are randomised to spots live.
- Mini: a small raffle whose prizes are spots in a bigger break.
Some breaks ship every card. Others ship hits only, or hits plus rookies and parallels. The listing tells you which. If it isn’t clear, ask us before you buy.
3. Check what your spot can actually hit
Not every team or player has the same chances. A star rookie’s team might have ten autographs on the checklist, and another team might have two. Before you pick, look at the checklist for that product. We post ours on the Checklists page, broken down by spot.
4. How randomising works
In random formats, we randomise six times using random.org, and the randomisation is shown and recorded on stream or in our facebook facebook page Blunt breaks nz. The results are posted in the Blunt Crew before a single pack is opened. Once that’s done, the allocation is final.
5. Paying and when it goes live
On the website, you pick your spots on the spot board and pay at checkout by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Afterpay. Your spot locks the moment it’s paid. Spots sitting in your cart aren’t reserved, so don’t leave them there during a rush.
In our Facebook group, you claim a spot in the break post and pay by bank transfer or with Blunt Dollars.
A break goes live as soon as every spot is sold. Times go up in the Blunt Crew and on the Break Schedule. Every break streams live on Facebook, YouTube, Kick and Twitch, and the replay goes on the break’s page. not all breakers stream on all channels. Nijesh Streams on all, Boris is Facebook and YouTube and Matt is Facebook only.
6. Getting your cards
- Facebook/website breaks: we hold your cards until you’ve done five breaks, or ship them any time you ask.
- Blunt Lite breaks: pay for Lite shipping when you’re ready and we send them tracked with NZ Post.
Hits go out sleeved and top-loaded. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.
Five tips for your first break
- Read the listing twice: format, what ships, and the price per spot.
- Check the checklist for your team or player before you buy.
- Start with a Blunt Lite break. It’s the same experience for a smaller spend.
- Watch live if you can. It’s half the fun, and you see your cards come out.
- Set a budget and stick to it. A break is entertainment, not an investment.
